Strictly minerals has added a new, monthly bargain page as part of the remodel of their store. For the initial bargain page, FOSSIL FISH are being offered for sale. DIPLOMYSTUS DENTATUS, KNIGHTIA EOCAENA are the main items. Especially interesting are two displays of Knightia Eocaena mass mortality fish. When the conditions were just right in these shallow lakes, in what is now Wyoming, hundreds/thousands of these little fish died at one time and were deposited in the silt bottom of the lake. Everything went just right in the fossilization process to produce these wonderful displays of fish! Take a look at some of these fish, I think you will be fascinated by the detail and quality of the displays. Remember, these fish are 50 million years old in geologic time. Strictlyminerals.com is the store site. Thanks for your interest.

This specimen of Malachite was formed by solutions of carbonite of copper that were deposited in layers. The “eyes” are caused by the twisting and unevenness of the layers. As this extra solid Malachite is polished, the eyes really become apparent by the cutting of the layers Malachite has always been known for metaphysical properties it possesses. The Chakra is the fourth Chakra, the Heart. Malachite picks up negative energies from the body and the area around you and opens your Heart to love. It also helps rid your dreams of nightmares. If you are into the metaphysics, this is an example. If not, then this specimen is a wonderful display piece of the mineral Malachite. I think this would be a perfect addition to you home or office, and the price is right for you! This particular Malachite is from the Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire), Africa. The link will take you to my store, Strictlyminerals.com, so you can view more of these BEAUTIFUL GREEN MALACHITE treasures.
